Editat de Brendon Hyndman, Jennifer Vanos
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 13 iul 2023
This book introduces an emerging area of research exploring the influence of extreme weather events on school systems.
Chapters explore a range of extreme weather events such as snowstorms, bushfires, extreme winds, heavy rainfall and prolonged heat waves, and their potentially widespread impacts. It also covers key challenges faced by schools, including how to protect students, levels of teacher preparation to counter extreme weather conditions and how students' learning is impacted by extreme weather patterns.
Drawing on a broad range of research in this field, this book will appeal to environmental and educational researchers, as well as those currently studying or practising in education.
